"New Member" Welcome Coupons

What would happen if I had a movie I bought on Fandangonow (or flixster or cinemanow, etc), and got access to it on vudu through Ultraviolet? I wonder if that would port over through this new system or not.

Well I would "assume" UV would not go away (at least not right away) and if you already bought it and its over on VUDU right now, I would think you would be fine as it's already "purchased". Fantastic to see that Amazon is part of something like this as I have several things on there that I don't have on other services.

What's wrong with Ultraviolet, other than the name, that they would need to do this? I always thought Disney Movies Anywhere was around just because Disney's always thought they were 'special' and had to keep their stuff separate, but if they let in other studios that'll nix that idea. If this just ends up merging with Ultraviolet and makes those movies playable on other services then that'd be cool, but otherwise sounds like another PITA. Vudu is still the best option anyways, except for a couple titles I have which are only in 2-channel sound there but 5.1 on FandangoNow, though there's more 2.35 movies on that which are cropped but presented properly on Vudu.

The industry divide between UltraViolet and Disney Movies Anywhere could be ending. But instead of merging cloud-based storage platforms, UltraViolet backers 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures are joining Disney’s KeyChest storage platform, according to Bloomberg. A formal announcement is pending.

Lionsgate is said to be interested, while financial disagreements are keeping Paramount Pictures on the sidelines, according to the report. No word about Sony Pictures.

Disney and Fox Join Forces With Other Studios for New Download Service

Several major Hollywood movie studios have signed up to a new digital film service led by Walt Disney Co. that lets consumers buy movies and store them in a digital locker to access on their devices, people familiar with the matter said.

Disney has been courting studios to join its Movies Anywhere service since last year, Bloomberg News reported at the time. Customers can watch and keep their online film purchases at a single site through the product. 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures are among the major studios joining the service, the people said. The plan could be announced as soon as this week, they said.

--------------------

Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Pictures is the only one of the six major studios that isn’t joining Movies Anywhere, because of a disagreement over financial terms, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Paramount, maker of the Transformers films, and smaller Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., home of “The Hunger Games,” are supportive of the concept and may join later, two people said.

Disney Movies Anywhere used a proprietary storage technology called KeyChest that allows consumers to access movies on one site, whether they’re purchased online from Apple Inc.’s iTunes, Amazon.com Inc., Google Inc. or a brick-and-mortar store like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The service offered films from all of the company’s brands, including Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm.

With the rise of Netflix Inc. and other video services, studios may be too late to persuade consumers to buy movies to keep and re-watch, said Rich Greenfield, analyst at BTIG said, who has a buy rating on Netflix and a sell rating on Disney.

“The consumer has moved on from ownership of media to access via subscription services,” he said.

What's wrong with Ultraviolet, other than the name, that they would need to do this?

Well, for one thing, on the studio side, UV doesn't have Disney, which includes some of the biggest properties around, like Disney animated, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars.

The other thing is UV is floundering on the retail side, with only VUDU left as the major retailer (and FandangoNow as a bit player). The biggest retailers (iTunes, Google Play, VUDU, Microsoft, and Amazon) are all signed on with Movies Anywhere.

I lost my free copy of "Hillbillies in a Haunted House" when CinemaNow folded- I got it with a $5 Target Ticket credit and then it transferred to CinemaNow when THAT folded, but now nobody's there to pick it up. But oh well, it's just a stupid B-movie that I should never want to watch again anyways (luckily I did watch it once when I could), so all is fine and good in digital land. Throw out those pesky discs!

If all the other studios except Paramount are on board for this new thing, Paramount ought to start their own called "Paramount Movies in Most Places"
